FOUNDATION    AND    OBJECT. 

NoRTHFiELD  SEMINARY  was  founded  by  Mr.  D. 
L.  Moody  and  his  friends,  in  the  year  1879. 

This  Institution  is  designed  to  promote  the 
Christian  education  of  young  women. 

The  instruction,  discipKne,  and  influences  are  such 
as,  it  is  beheved,  will  secure  the  best  results  in  the 
development  of  character,  and  be  the  most  fitting 
preparation  for  a  life  of  consecrated  service. 

It  has  been  the  aim  to  bring  the  advantages  of 
the  Seminary  within  the  means  of  those  who  would 
find  it  difficult  to  obtain  an  education  elsewhere. 

LOCATION   AND    GROUNDS. 

Northfield  is  situated  in  northern  Massachusetts^ 
just  on  the  boundary  of  Vermont  and  New  Hamp- 
shire. It  is  on  the  New  London  Northern  Rail- 
road, and  is  about  twelve  miles  from  Greenfield, 
Mass.,  and  the  same  distance  from  Brattleboro, 
Vermont. 

Connection  with  the  Ashuelot  and  Connecticut 
River  Railroad  can  easily  be  made  at  South  Vernon 
Junction,  two  miles  distant. 


Northfield  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful  and  health- 
ful of  New  England  towns. 

The  Seminary  grounds  include  over  two  hundred 
and  fifty  acres,  and  afford  abundant  opportunities  for 
exercise  and  recreation.  A  beautiful  little  lake  has 
recently  been  added  to  the  Seminary  property,  and 
skating  and  boating  are  thus  made  possible. 

The  buildings  are  situated  on  ground  sufficiently 
elevated  to  secure  good  drainage,  and  command 
charming  views  of  the  surrounding  hills,  the  winding 
Connecticut,  and  the  distant  mountains. 

BUILDINGS. 

The  Recitation  Hall  is  in  the  center  of  the  group 
of  Seminary  buildings.  In  this  beautiful  and  sub- 
stantial stone  hall  all  the  recitations  are  conducted, 
thus  removing  the  noise  of  the  schoolroom  from  the 
home  life.  It  is  also  believed  that  the  short  walk  to 
and  from  classes  promotes  the  health  of  the  stu- 
dents. 

In  addition  to  its  numerous  and  convenient  class- 
rooms, the  Recitation  Hall  contains  chemical,  phys- 
ical, and  botanical  laboratories  for  practical  work. 
A  large  chapel  occupies  the  center  of  the  second 
floor.  The  rooms  at  the  right  and  left  of  the  chapel 
are  so  arranged  that  the  whole  of  the  second  floor 
can  be  thrown  into  one  vast  assembly  hall. 

The  Talcott  Library,  the  gift  of  Mr.  James  Tal- 
cott,  is  in  process  of  erection.  It  will  be  complete 
in  all  its  appointments,  and  will   supply  what  has 


> 
<: 


UJ 

c/> 


been  a  growing  need  of  the  Seminary.  There  are 
about  3,500  volumes  belonging  to  the  Library. 
These  are  made  as  serviceable  as  possible  by  the 
card  catalogue  and  Dewey  system  of  classification. 

Near  the  Recitation  Hall  and  the  Talcott  Library, 
are  Marquand  Hall,  East  Hall,  and  Weston  Hall, 
the  homes  of  the  students. 

The  Frederick  Marquand  Memorial  Hall,  the  gift 
of  Mr.  D.  W.  McWilhams,  a  residuary  legatee  of 
the  Marquand  estate,  accommodates  eighty-three 
students,  East  Hall  accommodates  sixty,  and  Weston 
Hall,  the  gift  of  Mr.  David  M.  Weston,  has  room 
for  forty-five.  Besides  these  halls,  two  small  build- 
ings, which  have  been  arranged  for  Seminary  use, 
furnish  quiet  homes  for  thirty-nine. 

No  expense  has  been  spared  in  making  the  build- 
ings convenient  and  attractive.  They  are  thoroughly 
furnished,  warmed  by  steam  or  furnace  heat,  lighted 
by  gas,  have  an  excellent  water  supply,  and  com- 
plete arrangements  for  ventilation. 


REQUIREMENTS    FOR    ADMISSION. 

Candidates  for  admission  to  the  Seminary  must 
be  at  least  fifteen  years  of  age,  and  must  pass  satis- 
factory examinations  in  the  following  studies  :  — 

Arithmetic,  to  Interest ;  English  Grammar,  to 
Syntax. 

Warren's  Common  School  Geography,  to  South 
America. 


8 

These  examinations  will  admit  to  the  Preparatory 
class. 

Candidates  for  the  Junior  class  must  pass  exam- 
inations through  Arithmetic,  English  Grammar,  and 
Analysis,  Geography,  United  States  History,  and 
Civil  Government. 

Candidates  fitted  to  enter  the  Junior  class,  will  be 
received  in  preference  to  those  entering  their  names 
for  the  Preparatory. 

Students  desiring  to  enter  any  class  in  advance 
of  the  Junior,  must  pass  examinations  in  the  sub- 
jects required  in  the  Course  of  Study  laid  out  for  the 
preceding  years. 

Students  will  not  take  special  studies  until  the 
work  of  the  Preparatory  year  has  been  completed. 

All  who  desire  to  be  admitted  at  the  beginning  of 
the  winter  or  spring  term,  must  pass  examinations 
on  the  work  laid  out  for  the  previous  terms  in  the 
Course  of  Study  which  they  wish  to  enter. 

Before  the  candidate  is  accepted,  she  will  be 
required  to  fill  out  and  return  the  blank  which  will 
be  forwarded  to  her  on  her  application. 

It  is  requested  that  a  careful  statement  be  made 
with  reference  to  health,  as  teachers  cannot  take  the 
responsibility  of  caring  for  young  ladies  who  are 
delicate.  To  meet  the  requirements  of  the  Seminary 
life,  good  health  becomes  an  absolute  necessity. 

GOVERNMENT. 

The  government  of  our  family  is  such  as  is  need- 
ful for  the  good  of  all ;  and  the  ultimate  end  of  all 


discipline  is  to  aid  in  establishing  habits  of  thought- 
fulness,  self-control,  and  courtesy. 

No  student  who  is  unwilling  to  meet  these  require- 
ments, or  who  seems  to  lack  appreciation  of  the 
benefits  received,  can  expect  to  be  retained,  to  the 
injury  of  others,  and  the  exclusion  of  more  deserving 
applicants. 

It  is  desired  that  only  those  shall  apply  who  have 
a  thirst  for  knowledge,  and  such  an  aim  as  will  lead 
them  to  improve  every  opportunity,  and  enter  heart- 
ily into  the  spirit  of  the  Institution. 

RELIGIOUS    INFLUENCE. 

While  the  Seminary  is  in  no  sense  sectarian,  it  is 
decidedly  Christian  in  its  purpose. 

The  study  of  the  Bible  is  continued  throughout 
the  course,  since  it  is  beUeved  that  a  thorough 
knowledge  of  the  Scriptures  should  underlie  and 
overlie  all  education. 

Lectures  upon  subjects  connected  with  Bible 
study  are  given  frequently  during  the  year. 

It  is  desired  to  surround  the   students  with  such 

religious  and  social  influences  as  are  fitted,  with  the 

blessing  of  God,  to  bring  them  to  the  responsibilities 

of  life  in  the  spirit  of  earnest  consecration  to  the 

•  Master. 

MISSIONARY    SOCIETY. 

A  Missionary  Society  has  been  organized,  and  is 
successfully  sustained  by  the  young  ladies.  Monthly 
meetings  are  held,  and  the  money  contributed  is 
devoted  to  objects  of  benevolence. 


10 


GYMNASIUM. 


The  Gymnasium  is  well  equipped  with  apparatus. 
Chest-weights,  pulleys,  the  quarter-circle,  rowing- 
machine,  clubs,  and  various  other  gymnastic  ap- 
pHances,  are  used  by  the  students  under  the  direction 
of  a  teacher.  It  is  the  aim  to  secure  health  and  the 
best  physical  development. 

DOMESTIC    DEPARTMENT. 

The  students  perform  all  the  work  of  the  house, 
under  the  supervision  of  the  Matron. 

It  is  beheved  that  this  system  serves  as  an  impor- 
tant factor  in  the  formation  of  character,  and  pro- 
motes the  health  of  the  young  ladies. 

Each  young  lady  is  expected  to  perform  cheerfully 
the  portion  of  work  assigned  her. 

Laundry  conveniences  are  furnished  in  the  build- 
ings for  all  the  young  ladies  who  desire  to  do  their 
own  washing  ;  clothes  are  laun dried  outside  at  fifty 
cents  per  dozen. 

TO    APPLICANTS. 

The  rooms  are  nearly  all  designed  for  the  use  of 
two  students.  They  are  pleasantly  furnished,  and 
are  provided  with  student-lamps. 

Each  student  will  bring  her  own  sheets  and  pillow- 
cases, towels,  soap,  napkins,  napkin-ring,  umbrella, 
waterproof,  and  rubber  shoes.  Pillow-cases  should 
be  made  nineteen  inches  wide ;  and  sheets  to  fit 


II 


single  beds  three  feet  wide.  A  gymnastic  suit  is 
also  necessary.  All  articles  must  be  distinctly 
marked  with  the  owner's  name  in  full. 

Dentistry,  shopping,  and  dressmaking  should  be 
attended  to  in  vacations,  that  nothing  which  fore- 
thought can  prevent  may  interfere  with  the  regular- 
ity of  school-work. 

All  are  expected  to  be  present  on  the  first  day  of 
the  term,  and  should  come  the  day  previous  to  the 
date  named  in  the  Calendar  for  the  opening  of  the 
term,  unless  other  arrangements  have  been  made 
with  the  Principal. 

Students  will  not  have  boxes  of  food  sent  them. 
No  objection  is  made,  however,  to  their  receiving 
fresh  fruit. 

Books  and  stationery  can  be  bought  at  cost  at  the 
Seminary  Bookstore. 

It  is  desirable  that  the  students  should  bring  with 
them  such  books  of  reference  as  they  may  have. 
The  following  are  suggested  :  — 

ENGLISH  DICTIONARY,  GEOGRAPHY, 
ANCIENT  ATLAS,  BIBLE  DICTIONARY, 

CONCORDANCE,  STANDARD  HISTORICAL 

AND  POETICAL  WORKS. 

Applicants  will  address,
